Love is as strong as death, so goes a popular saying. To Mercy Jessa, 35, a Lagos-based woman; it is even stronger and powerful than death. The greatest mistake of her life might probably be going to her lover’s bosom with her close friend, Evelyn. As love would have its way, reverse became the case as her ‘Romeo’ eventually ended by dumping her for her ‘best’ friend.
Not moved by the sudden metamorphoses, the estranged lover insists he preferred her lover’s friend as wife than his ‘ex’ thus he went ahead and married her, thereby leading to unabated ‘war’ between the two friends and the aggrieved Mercy allegedly used a blade to slash her friend in reciprocation.
The angry woman was arrested after the bloody attack and has been arraigned before an Apapa Magistrate’s Court, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria, for allegedly using a razor blade to shred her friend, identified as Evelyn John.
The discarded Mercy allegedly ambushed her ‘villain’, Evelyn at Better Life Motor Park, Ijora Badia, a suburb of Lagos and used the sharp object to cut her face.
The victim who sustained severe injuries was rushed to a hospital where she is currently recuperating.
Mercy was charged to court under Section 244 of the Criminal Code, law of Lagos State.
At the court, the accused pleaded not guilty and the presiding magistrate, Mr. H. O. A. Amos, granted her bail in the sum of N10, 000 with one surety in like sum.
Mercy would be remanded in the prison custody pending when she will meet the bail conditions just as the case was adjourned till 12 March 2012 for further hearing.
